Will You All Cease To Respect Me As A Serious Grown-up Person If I Admit This Is My Favourite Disney

Will you all cease to respect me as a serious grown-up person if I admit this is my favourite Disney love story?

P.S. I am such an animation geek for this film, it's a story that REALLY benefits from the animated medium.

I realised you tumblefolk never saw my first (so far only) attempt at animation! In 1st year we had an animation module, and this was my final piece. I was so pleased with it, I did the whole thing frame-by-frame and largely freehand.

I had to make a new youtube account recently 'cause of google taking over everything and that meaning it turned the email address into a new google account and logging me out of my normal one every time I logged in on youtube and AUGH I HATE THE INTERNET- so it seemed like a good time to share it again.

Also, if I had the time and money I'd genuinely love to do a second degree and train as an animator. I'm a huge animation geek, I'd love to learn how to do it properly even though I'd never use it for anything. Some of my favourite illustrators and comic artists trained in animation, I think I could learn some fascinating things.

I'll add that to my list of things I'd like to do if I won the lottery and lived in a magical land where I ride a unicorn to work every morning, haha.

HA! I knew I wasn't the only one!

As I've been so quiet this month I thought you'd like to see something. This is a Christmas card I designed for my Mum to use this year. I doodle angels all the time (especially in church) so I'm most proud of the star in the middle. Mum wanted one that incorporated the Star of David and a seven-point star, and I hardly specialised in geometric design so I'm pretty pleased with how it came out.

I've been soooo busy lately, what with Thought Bubble, making What's the Time, Mrs Woolf?, doing commissions, Sketchavember, applying for a million proper jobs and having horrible colds, so I haven't had much to put online.  Some of the commissions are almost done though, so hopefully I can show you what I've been doing all this time! Rest assured that at the end of this month I can at least show you my Sketchavember pictures, so you can all get acquainted with 30 of my own characters and laugh at how shaky my grasp of anatomy becomes when I draw late at night.

Seriously, it's pretty bad. It's like I forget that shoulders and hips are real body parts.

Today in 'Sarah draws fanart of comics that don't exist yet', Giant Rhinos, the best band in the world! Created by my lovely pal Sammy, who I saw yesterday in London. From left to right this is Terry (lead singer and guitarist), Carl (bassist and possibly backing vocals?) and Steve (drummer). I love these guys. I also love drawing Sammy's characters in general. My style is more detailed, but that makes it super-easy for me to draw the same attractive faces over and over. Sammy's style is more geometric, so translating her characters into my style pushes me out of my comfort zone.

Hmm... except with Carl maybe. That face is FIRMLY within my manga-influenced skill set.

Sammy drew my advice-giving house hob, Poppet, who is also the reason I am currently in the lead in the Paper People game. Sammy has kindly documented my victory in her latest blog post.

The reason we were in London was to go to The Art of Illustration, a talk at the British Library. I drew the guests on my notes. From top to bottom  - Quentin Blake, Posy Simmonds, Jamie Hewlett and Martin Rowson. They all told us about four of their favourite illustrators. It was mostly good, aside from an awkward moment in the question section, in which someone asked why none of them had picked any women. It was shrugged off and joked about in a way that suggested it wasn't important, and one of the guests joked that 'we could have picked Posy, but she's here' which kind of made it sound like Posy Simmonds is the only influential female illustrator in existence. That disappointed me.

Also we got to 'very awkwardly walk down the stairs by Jamie Hewlett in silence' as Sammy put it. Because we are the SMOOTHEST PEOPLE.
